West coast part 1

[eddie t]

Left Sunderland about 9am for the long drive up to craobh haven on the west coast of Scotland
got there about 4pm got unpack and headed straight to the pub :drinking25: :drinking25:
:lol2: next day got the gear out and headed out to find a few fish with not much luck it was canny
windy so it was hard to find a spot but we did and this was the biggest fish caught and the only
one of the day.

the next few days we tried for more pollack but yet again nee big fish to be seen just small ones
and loads of macky

Also didn't have much luck with the pot i took up only one or two small ones even the dog was
helping me look for them :lol2:

With the tides being big we went to get a few razor clams to eat and to bring home for bait for
the winter as ya can see the dog is helping me again we tried putting the salt down the holes
at first but it wasn't happening one or two would come out the holes so i dug the out they
taste really nice raw and cooked.

With the pollack fishing not been the best this year we tried for other species and manged a
few doggies out and more small pollack.

Nice report, looks a really nice place to fish. Hopefully some bigger fish will turn up but still looks like you're having a great time.
Might try razors myself, bought some live the other week but ended up using them for bait.

You don,t have to freeze them mate,just gut them as soon as they are landed..
